This Startup Wants to Launch Giant Glowing Ads Into the Night Sky
An array of cubesats will create brand-sponsored new constellations.

Russian startup StartRocket says it wants to display enormous billboard-style advertisements in the night sky using arrays of cubesats, a vision it illustrates in a concept video featuring what appear to be the McDonald’s and KFC logos hovering in the sky like new constellations.

According to project leader Vlad Sitnikov, this commodification of the night sky is the next logical step in advertising.

That's horrifying. How long until ads are projected into my mind while I'm asleep?
